I heard the snatch of a news report on the radio (CBC at 5:30 pm).
Supposedly you can now say you are sorry for something and not be considered to be held legally responsible (at least in Saskatchewan).
The impetus is the growing litigious society we live in. As soon as we admit to some kind of wrong doing, the legal system pops into place. What could have been very simply solved through mediation goes way out of wack.
I’m interested to see all the background on this! Certainly sounds like we have begun to lose our language to our legal system!
If you can find out more, let me know.
Some plaintiffs are professional pains! Most litigators try to avoid litigation and hopefully resolve the issue through ADR processes. Litigation has actually declined but the severity of employee disatisfaction is on the rise… (according to my sources). What did you hear?
